Using Your Notebook
This chapter describes some of the built-in hardware and software
features of your notebook. You can use these functions to enhance the
usefulness of your notebook, and make changes to the way that they
operate as well. The software drivers and utility programs are pre-
installed on your notebook, and are integrated into the Windows
environment. If you ever have to rebuild you hard disk drive, you can
use the support software supplied with this system to re-install the
programs.
Note:
This section assumes that your notebook has shipped with an
installed OEM version of Windows 95 or 98, and the support software
has been pre-installed. If your notebook has not been pre-installed with
these items, you can install a retail version of Windows and then install
the support software from the support diskettes/CDs provided with the
notebook.
Video Display
The video system on your notebook comprises the flat-panel screen,
the video controller and video memory circuitry, the video ports, and
the video software.
Flat-panel Screen
The flat-panel screen is a large, color liquid crystal display panel. The
screen uses a technology called TFT (Thin Film Transistor) which
provides a very high contrast display. You can adjust the brightness of
the display by using the video hot keys.
